At the very least, as some sites have been saying, it's great to see a new IP rather than endless sequels.

Not one to hug big publisher corporations myself, but Ubisoft's Montreal studio has had a lot of creative power lately. Assassin's Creed was a very fresh and creative new IP, just as this one looks to be (until the generic TPS shooting and GTA carjacking kicks in). I can't help but imagine, though, that they sent spies into Eidos Montreal before development. >_>

Also I'm digging the dialogue, voice acting and animations, but with Star Wars 1313 and Beyond: Lost Souls, it looks like we're going to see a lot of this from here on out.
